MAMA LOVA Essaouira - Boutique Hôtel, Riad, Restaurant & SPA — Hotel in Essaouira

This perfectly beautiful, well-run hotel is one of the highlights of our trip. To be able to come back to the hotel and feel like you returned back to your own home is a unique feeling. ||Karima, Khalil, Saad, and the rest of the staff go above and beyond to make you happy and satisfied. Everything from restaurant recommendation to taxi service is perfect. ||Our room, with a small loft with an extra bed, was nicely decorated with some uniquely picked items like a record player and old suitcases. Mattresses are nice and firm and the pillows, oh the pillows! (For those of you who are fussy about pillows, you will not be disappointed!)||The room is clean and made up every day. And finally we found a hotel that respected not to change the towels unless they are on the floor. Good for the environment and the overall workload for the staff.||The breakfast really is difficult to describe with words, it needs to be experienced. Typical Moroccan dishes that varies a bit from day to day. Olives, dates, honey, nut-butter, pancakes, flatbread, oats/porrige, omelett, orange juice, coffee, cream cheese, hummus etc etc! Everything served at the table. They cater really well to celiac disease with lots of really good alternatives!! ||The location is great, in the old town with easy access from the main gate (but perhaps you want to get a luggage service because of the uneven streets).||We would love to come back and recommend it to travellers to Essaouira. There were both friends and families at the hotel but mind that it might be some noise coming from the stairs and rooms as they all face the inside of the riad. ||A gem of a boutique hotel, the Mama Lova...

A gem of a boutique hotel, the Mama Lova...

The hotel is impeccably furnished and decorated, absolutely beautiful, I was impressed as soon as I stepped in. I don't have a bad thing to say about the food, the cleanliness or the lovely staff, who went above and beyond for my daughter and myself, as unfortunately I broke my ankle in a fall (on the beach) soon after arriving. Karima was able to extend our stay (we had intended to return to Marrakesh on the coach, but my accident wouldn't allow this), and make all arrangements to enable the rest of our stay being as comfortable as possible. She even borrowed a wheelchair so that I could get out and about. I could have cried! My daughter did cry 😊 Yes, it was difficult for me to use the stairs but we knew about stairs in riyadhs when we booked. This got easier as the week went along in any case as we were on the first floor in one of the duplex rooms, with a lovely wet room. The food that we had was amazing especially the seafood pastilla, and i am not normally a fan of seafood. I believe it's possible to eat in the restaurant even if you're not staying there, provided a booking is made. All being well I will go back to Mama Lova, and as well as Karima I would like to thank Sad, Latifa, Latifah's brother (sorry I don't remember your name), Halil, sorry about the spellings and the names I didn't add but I will be back inshallah when will be able to use the lovely rooftop terrace, which I...
